Hermes
Hermes — British Tier V aircraft carrier.
One of the first aircraft carriers of special construction in the world. The ship featured very good speed for her time, had armor protection similar to that of a cruiser, and carried quite a powerful battery. One of her drawbacks was the small size of her aircraft hangar.
